Abstract
The atrophic maxilla often results in lateral, anteroposterior and vertical disproportion of the maxillary arches. This paper presents the case of a 40-year-old male with a severely atrophic maxilla who underwent oral rehabilitation. He was treated with onlay and inlay iliac bone grafts followed by vestibuloplasty and dental implant placement 170 days after initial bone grafting. The dental implants were uncovered after 4 months of healing. The patient also underwent orthognathic surgery for correction of the maxillary basal bone and to improve implant positioning. At the 48-month follow-up there were no complications.
